Noticed A Minuscule Amount Of Blood After Urinating, Right Labia Minora Itching, Red, Swollen. What Could Be The Problem?

I thought I had a UTI this morning when I woke up. Yesterday I hhd the constant need to urinate. That need stayed with me and i noticed a minuscule amount of blood when I wiped after urinating for the first time this morning. There has been no blood since. However, my right labia minora has started to itch and when showering I noticed it was very swollen with just the smallest bit of redness on the inside. I was wondering what might be the problem and how I can make it go away.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possible causes for your problem are :
- Urinary tract infection presents with symptoms like increased frequency of urination, painful micturition, blood in the urine etc.
- Vaginal infection can lead to swelling and redness of the labia minora.
-Rough intercourse can lead to labial swelling, redness and urinary tract infection also.
-As the swelling is unilateral, one more possibility is presence of Bartholin abscess containing pus and blood.
By examination only, the exact cause for the problem can be identified.
So better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
If she recommends go for urine microscopy, culture and sensitivity, vaginal swab for culture and sensitivity.
By this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Local and systematic antibiotics may help in curing the condition.
Sitz bath can help in decreasing the symptoms to some extent.
Take care.
